Three-Legged Race

Do you know the concept of the three-legged race?

It is a race in which two people link their inner ankles together and run in unison. Thus, it is also a metaphor for two people working together to accomplish something.

Because each person runs on three legs, coordination is crucial, as being out of sync can lead to falls.

On Esperia, this idea of cooperation was often spoken of in the teachings delivered at the Great Library of Esperia.

As the number of individuals increases, the possibilities for dissonance greatly increase, and this is why keeping in mind that each of the Espers had to work together toward the common goal of peace and harmony for their shared planet, Esperia, was essential.

A three-legged race in which every Esper participates and which becomes a core way of thinking: respecting others and adapting to the inherent differences that everyone possesses.

    Before the War of Chaos, the world was covered with vast constructions stretching across much of the planet’s surface and even beneath its ground, illuminated at night by artificial light. Although darkness and shadow had somewhat disappeared from their sight, this had, in turn, allowed each Esper’s own Shadow to grow even stronger. The use…

    On Esperia, it was the War of Chaos that finally led the Espers to understand the fundamental need to work together, with one heart, for a common cause. Before that, each element continued to think first and foremost about its own sovereignty, even as global problems, requiring everyone’s united efforts, became clear to anyone who…
